第三章
智慧是‘一’和唯一

这适用于所有的人：
认识自己并成为恰当的。


成为恰当的是最伟大的美德。


智慧在于说真理，行真理，
以及关注事物的本性。


聆听于我而不是逻各斯，
认识到万物是‘一’才是智慧的。


智慧是‘一’-- 要知道万物通过智慧掌管着的万物。


智慧是‘一’和唯一，
不管它是否情愿，
在宙斯的名义下，
它就是被这样称颂的。
Heraclitus says, "Talk the truth and act the truth, and act only in such a way that it comes out of your
feeling of truth." In the beginning it will be difficult because the whole life depends on lies. In the beginning
you will feel always out of step with others, but soon everything settles again in a new pattern, a new
gestalt arises. The interim period is going to be difficult...

Next chapter
It pertains to all men
to know themselves
and to be temperate.


To be temperate is the greatest virtue.


Wisdom consists in speaking and acting the truth,
giving heed to the nature of things.


Listening to me but not to the logos,
it is wise to acknowledge
that all things are one.


Wisdom is one –
to know the intelligence by which
all things are steered through all things.


Wisdom is one and unique;
it is unwilling and yet willing
to be called by the name of Zeus.
